Council Member Salaam inquires about CCRB's use of overtime to meet personnel needs and close cases in a timely manner.
- CCRB has spent approximately $250,000 on overtime in fiscal year 2025
- The agency doesn't have a specific line for overtime in its budget
- Overtime is funded through accruals from differences between vacancy rate and actual headcount

How much does CCRB rely on overtime to meet the personal needs of the board in order to close cases in a timely manner?
3:39:16
And how much is currently budgeted for overtime in fiscal year twenty twenty five?
3:39:21
How much has been spent so far as well?
Jonathan Darche

So in fiscal year twenty twenty five, we've so far spent approximately $250,000 in overtime.
3:39:44
The agency doesn't have a line for overtime.
3:39:48
We will continue to spend overtime to try and close as many cases as we can in a timely manner.
3:39:55
It's it is unfortunate that because we are the responsibilities of the agency require us to to get work done and we use the overtime as a way of expanding our workforce.

Mister chairman, may I add that the the number of people that, the investigators we have in 2034, we had to in 2024, we had to, not investigate many cases because of lack of funding and the lack of investigators.
3:40:34
So that is also one of the factor that we request more funding, more personnel so we can properly do the fair investigation in a proper way by the CCRB.
Yusef Salaam
3:40:48
So operating in that manner, where do you find the money, I guess, reallocating funding to be able to fund overtime?
Dr. Mohammad Khalid
3:41:01
Go ahead.
Jonathan Darche
3:41:03
In the differences between the vacancy rate and our actual headcount, the accruals allow us to pay for the overtime.
